Re: Front steering wobble
May be 2011 but the problem will be around forever with a standard front end. So it will get recycled when the next person has the problem at least magic took time to search for it

Re: Front steering wobble
Yes, sure the old problem won't go away.
I thought that by massively stiffening mine it would be cure, and while it can be controlled by one hand now instead of two, it's still there.
I've found it worse when starting from cold for some reason.
What's still the same as original? Well the headstock, forks and front wheel, so the rake and trail remain the same, and will likely stay as they are, the wobble isn't bad enough to warrant cutting the frame.

You have now dug it up again in 2022!!
